Far from Paradise: the Tales of Jero and Huka Lauren Henry

On an isolated unknown island somewhere in the Caribbean lived two villages full of natives. The island was eight miles wide and fifteen miles long. It was surrounded on all sides but one by sandy beaches. Inhabited villages were located on the south and west side of the island. The center of the island was covered by dark jungle and very mysterious. For many years neither village was aware of the other one. But in the year 1489 this changed. People from the south village came to the west village. After that the two tribes found ways to visit back and forth. Trade and marriage between people of the tribes was established. Then the villagers from both tribes began to explore the sea around them. But they had not yet sailed the entire length of their island. This is the story of the adventures of the young lovers Jero and Huka who decide to explore the island but who discover much more.
